THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA
In The Court of Appeals

The State, Respondent,

v.

Shawn Wiles, Appellant.

Appeal From Saluda County
William P. Keesley, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2007-UP-318
Submitted June 1, 2007 – Filed June 14, 2007

AFFIRMED

Appellate Defender Aileen P. Clare, of Columbia, for Appellant. 

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, Senior Assistant Attorney General Norman Mark Rapoport, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Donald V. Myers, of Lexington, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Shawn Wiles was convicted of assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature and failure to stop for a blue light.  Wiles appeals his convictions, arguing the court erred in admitting evidence of his prior prison escape.

We affirm pursuant to Rule 220(b)(2), SCACR, and the following authority:  State v. Forrester, 343 S.C. 637, 642, 541 S.E.2d 837, 840 (2001) (finding a motion in limine to exclude evidence made at the beginning of trial generally does not preserve the issue for appellate review).[1]

AFFIRMED.

STILWELL, SHORT, and WILLIAMS, JJ., concur. 

[1] We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
